 | | Chessical: Van der Wiel's play is very convincing, especially against such a powerful opponent. Perhaps: <12...h4!?> is worthy of consideration: 13.exd3 hxg3 14.hxg3 Qxd3 15.Qxd3 Rxd3 16.Rfb1 b6; although I would be uncomfortable as Black with the Bishops and Rooks lined up against my Q-side. In the game continuation, maybe <14...Qxe6> is possible? 15.Ng5 Qf5 16.Bb7+ Kb8 17.f3 Bh3 18.Nxh3 Qxa5 19.Bxa6 Qxa6 20.exd3 Nf5 |

Chessical, maybe 17. Ng5!? in your line? (e.g. 17...f6 18. Nf7 Rh5 19. e6 maybe?) In your second continuation, is there anything wrong with 18. Be4!? |

| | Chessical: <Benjamin Lau> Thanks for the comments and continuations. From your post: (1) 12...h4 13.exd3 hxg3 14.hxg3 Qxd3 15.Qxd3 Rxd3 16.Rab1 b6 <17.Ng5 f6 18.Nf7 Rh5> seems to be a logical way of continuing the attack to me, although 19.e6? is forestalled by Bxe6. So, in the variation, why not <19.Nd4> hoping for the automatic 19...fxe5 which is embarrassed by 20.Nc6? (2) 14...Qxe6 15.Ng5 Qf5 16.Bb7+ Kb8 17.f3 Bh3 <18.Be4> Qxa5 19.Nxh3 Nf5 20.Bf2 d2 21.Ra2 Be7 In the above line the exchanging off the annoying N does not seem to work: 20.Bxf5 Qxf5 21.Nf4 h4 22.g4 Qe5. Black appears to be better after 18.Be4, I personally would stick with
the simpler 18.Nxh3.
Overall, the b4 sacrifice seems very effective against the N capture - but what about 9...Bxb4? Albin may have the last laugh after all ;-) |

| Apr-29-04 | | Benjamin Lau: You're right about 19. e6? in my line, I was hallucinating it seems and completely forgot about the bishop. Probably 19. e6?? even, it wasn't exactly an intentional sacrifice. :-) 19. Nd4 is indeed better and seems to lead to a fairly good attack despite the queens being off the board. My 18. Be4 in your second line was a typo actually, I meant is 19. Be4 acceptable? I am not too fond of exchanging off the fianchetto for the rimmish knight... If there is no tactical refutation or any other thing, I think I would like to retreat the bishop. 19...d2 seems like it can be met with 20. Ra2 but I am not 100% sure. |
|
| Apr-29-04 | | Benjamin Lau: If 9...Bxb4, maybe 10. a3 Ba5 (if on e7, it may block the knight later I think) 11. Nb3 seems good for white? Now 12. Nxa5 is undesirable and white still has Bg5 and Bf4 I guess. |

| | Chessical: <Benjamin Lau> After <1.d4 d5 2.c4 e5 3.dxe5 d4 4.Nf3 Nc6 5.g3 Bg4 6.Bg2 Qd7 7.Nbd2 0-0-0 8.0-0 h5 9.b4 Bxb4> I would favour candidate moves such as: <10.Qa4 or Rb1>, looking hopefully for Rb5 to d5, and piling up pressure gaisnt the Q-side in caveman chess fashion. If <10.a3> then in devil-may-care attacking fashion: 10...Bxd2 11.Qxd2 Bxf3 12.Bxf3 Nxe5 13.Bg2 Nxc4 |

| Apr-29-04 | | Benjamin Lau: Thanks Chessical. |

 | | mahmoudkubba: Was it the black pawn which is moving too far? or the white one?? On ranks d & e????? |
|
| Dec-09-04 | | orior: How does white win after 19..Kd7? |
|
| Dec-09-04 | | Cyphelium: <orior> On 19.- Kd7, 20. Nxd8 looks good enough, but 20. Nf7 (a fork that threatens a fork!)looks even more unpleasant. |
|
| Dec-09-04 | | aragorn69: Woww! Wild game!! |
|
| Dec-09-04 | | JohnBoy: Excellent choice for GOTD. Wonderfully conceived by VdW. |

 | | kevin86: A nice one! White "allows" the promotion to throw black off the trail-the defense of his king. |
|
| Dec-09-04 | | Camus: <orior> 19....Kd7 20. Nc5+ bc 21.Qb5+ c6 (20. ... Kc8 21.Bb7+) 22.Qb7+ Ke8 23.Bc6+ Nxc6 (23. ... Rd7 24.Qb8+) 24.Qxf7# |
|
| Dec-09-04 | | ajile: It's games like this that remind me why I'm an A player and not a master. Unbelievable game. Seems like everything is hanging for both sides. I didn't like the B pawn grab by black though. Opens a file on his castled king. Almost always bad to do this in a wild open tactical game. |
|
| Dec-09-04 | | Knight13: Black forgot about his king. |

| Dec-09-04 | | tuffy13: It's good to see Benjamin Lau back kibitzing! |
|
| Dec-09-04 | | square dance: <tuffy13> <It's good to see Benjamin Lau back kibitzing!> i think you're mistaken. his most recent post on this page is from april 29th, and i believe his last post was in may. |
|
| Dec-10-04 | | Cyphelium: <Camus> What about 19.- Kd7 20. Nc5+ bxc5 21. Qb5+ Nc6? |
|
| Jan-24-05 | | Saruman: <Cyphelium> I agree on your opinion that 19.-Kd7 <20.Nxd8> is good enough to win. Ive been trying many different lines until I got bogged down and gave up :-). |
|
| Jan-25-05 | | Cyphelium: <Saruman> Yes, unfortunately the mating lines don't work...but on the other hand they aren't needed. =) |
|
| Jan-25-05 | | acirce: <Saruman> When can we expect you back to Umeå, btw? |
|
| Feb-12-07 | | metrius: 9.b4 what a gutsy move! but i like the plan of attack by control of the white squares. |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | vinidivici: 17 what 1f 17...bxa5 |
|
| Jul-26-12 | | LoveThatJoker: <vinidivici> I have solved this! I am seeing that after 17...bxa5, White has 18. Qb5! Analysis Diagram - Position after 17...bxa5 18. Qb5!
click for larger viewWhite's attack is irresistible here! I'll get you started with one example of what I mean (you find the rest): 18...Bxe6 19. Bb7+ mating. LTJ |
